The Sabbath in Acts 'Among the several references to the Sabbath in Acts (1:12; 13:14-44; 15:21; 17:2; 18:4; 20:7) there is little evidence to suggest that the earliest Christian communities deviated from the traditional Sabbath observed on the seventh day. The lone reference to a gathering "On the first day of the week" (20:7) most likely reflects an emerging Christian consensus that the first day was an appropriate day on which to meet for worship and celebrating the Lord's Supper.' ____________________ (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/BakersEvangelicalDictionary/bed.cgi) |

Sunday commanded--show us the evidence! Rowdy: Please cite the NT book, chapter and verse where Jesus, the Apostles, or anyone else COMMANDS "first day" (Sunday) worship. Meeting on the first day of the week may have been practiced by the early church. But "practiced" does not equal "commanded". My question is very specific. It does not require a thesis paper or dissertation to answer it. All I'm asking for is chapter and verse where Sunday worship is COMMANDED. Show it to me in the NT.

"conformed to the image of His Son" "until Christ is formed in you" Reproduce ourselves? God forbid! May it never be! Our purpose is never to reproduce ourselves. Rather our purpose and goal is that Christ should be formed in those whom we disciple. God's purpose for His children is that they become conformed to the image of His Son. It is never that they should be reproductions of ourselves. Until Christ Is Formed In You NASB Galatians 4:19 My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you-- AMPLIFIED Galatians 4:19 My little children, for whom I am again suffering birth pangs until Christ is completely and permanently formed (molded) within you, To Become Conformed To The Image Of His Son NASB Romans 8:29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; AMPLIFIED Romans 8:29 For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren. Zeal and enthusiasm for God are desirable traits. But what KIND of zeal ought we to have? The kind that is "enlightened and according to [correct and vital] knowledge." AMPLIFIED Romans 10:2 I bear them witness that they have a [certain] zeal and enthusiasm for God, but it is not enlightened and according to [correct and vital] knowledge. |

249 | Every nation from Noah's son? | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 122865 | ||
No distinction between Jew and Gentile when it comes to salvation. The following is a false idea: "He will still accept them in the end and the nation of Jews will be saved, no matter what." For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same [Lord] is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him: Rom 10:12 ASV (1901) To whom was Jesus speaking when he said "Ye must be born again" (John 3:7)? Was it not to Nicodemus, a Jew himself and "a ruler of the Jews"? Israel was God's chosen nation. But chosen for what? "chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God" (Rom 3:2). To say that the Jewish nation was chosen for salvation is to err. As we know, salvation is open to people of every tribe and tongue and nation. It is open to whosoever will (Romans 10:13). To assume that the Jewish people (or anyone else) can be saved without trusting Christ is beyond error. It is totally illogical and contradicts every passage of Scripture on the subject of salvation. |

Israel was chosen. No question about it. But chosen for what? FOR WHAT? Israel, so named from the grandson of Abraham, was chosen for a fourfold mission: '(1) to witness to the unity of God in the midst of universal idolatry. Deuteronomy 6:4 ; Isaiah 43:10,12 '(2) to illustrate to the nations the blessedness of serving the true God. Deuteronomy 33:26-29 ; 1 Chronicles 17:20,21 ; Psalms 144:15 '(3) to receive, preserve, and transmit the Scripture. Deuteronomy 4:5-8; Romans 3:1,2 '(4) to produce, as to His humanity, the Messiah. Genesis 3:15; 12:3; 22:18; 28:10-14; 49:10 ; 2 Samuel 7:12-16 ; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; Matthew 1:1; Romans 1:3' (Scofield, C.I. "Scofield Reference Notes on Romans 11".

'Salvation Without Conversion?' ____________________ John Hagee "...believes that Jewish people do not need to be saved, since they are under a different covenant" (http://www.equip.org/free/DE405.htm). ____________________ 'The Bible paints a different picture. The apostle Paul demonstrates that Israel had a responsibility to respond to the Gospel, but rejected it. In Romans 10:19-21, he asks, “Did they [the Jews] fail to hear?” The rhetorical answer is “no.” Paul relates that, as light and darkness are understood by all, so the gospel has been made known to all the Jews (cf. Acts 17:6; 21:28). He continues, “Did they fail to understand?” The answer once again is “no.” Since Israel has become disobedient through unbelief (Rom. 11:30), God has delivered the gospel to the Gentiles. 'But God has not entirely rejected Israel — Paul (himself a Jew) is living proof of this (Rom. 11:1). God has preserved a remnant, while the others were hardened as a consequence of their unbelief and trusting in works instead of the righteousness of Christ (Rom. 11:5-7; cf. 9:31-32; 11:20-23). Elsewhere the apostle writes, “. . . by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His [God’s] sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. . . . for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 3:20, 23-24, emphasis added). 'To drive the point home, Paul goes on to say, “. . . the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith. For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise nullified; . . . it is by faith, that it might be in accordance with grace” (Rom. 4:13-14, 16). Scripture draws no distinction between Jews and Gentiles on the issue of salvation, which is attained by grace through faith alone in Christ, “apart from works of the law” (3:28; cf. vv. 21-22). 'Paul recognized that the Jews of his day had a misguided zeal that caused them to stumble on this very point (9:31-32; 10:2-4). Why would he suffer great anguish and wish he were accursed for Israel’s sake if none of them were truly lost? His anguish comes from the realization that many Israelites are not saved (Rom. 9:3, 6, 27; 10:1, 9-15; cf. Acts 2:14, 21, 37-39; Rom. 11:14, 17-23). 'The Law, revealed through the Jews, was meant to be “our tutor to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor” (Gal. 3:24-25). As the Bible clearly states: “There is neither Jew nor Greek . . . for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise” (vv. 28-29). To be saved, a person — whether Jew or Gentile — must turn to Christ (5:4-6; cf. John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Rom. 10:9-13)...In writing that the “message of the gospel was from Israel, not to Israel,” Hagee discourages Christians from sharing the Good News with unsaved Jews who, like everyone else, have need of the gospel if they are to spend eternity with God in heaven.' ____________________ To read more, including footnoted references, go to: (http://www.equip.org/free/DH005.htm). |

"The Jews rejected Jesus because God did not allow them to know who Jesus was." True or False NASB Acts 17:6 When they did not find them, they began dragging Jason and some brethren before the city authorities, shouting, "These men who have upset the world have come here also; NASB Acts 21:28 crying out, "Men of Israel, come to our aid! This is the man who preaches to all men everywhere against our people and the Law and this place; and besides he has even brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place." The Jews rejected Jesus because God did not allow them to know who Jesus was? 'The Bible paints a different picture. The apostle Paul demonstrates that Israel had a responsibility to respond to the Gospel, but rejected it. In Romans 10:19-21, he asks, “Did they [the Jews] fail to hear?” The rhetorical answer is “no.” Paul relates that, as light and darkness are understood by all, so the gospel has been made known to all the Jews (cf.

255 | Who says the Sabbath is on Sunday | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 124087 | ||
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. (The Fourth Commandment) In Exodus 20:8-11 there is no mention of the word "worship". In the Ten Commandments there is no command to "worship" on the seventh day. In the Ten Commandments the Sabbath was given as a day of complete rest. Exodus 35:2-3 (KJV) Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death. [3] Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day. "The seventh-day Sabbath was simply and only a day of complete rest for man and beast, a humane provision for man's needs" (Scofield, C.I. "Scofield Reference Notes on Matthew 12". "Scofield Reference Notes (1917 Edition). (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/ScofieldReferenceNotes/)) Exodus 20:8-11 (KJV) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. [9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: [10] But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: [11] For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. On the other hand, there is no New Testament command changing the Sabbath from the seventh day to the first day of the week. Neither is there any NT command to worship on Sunday. 'Among the several references to the Sabbath in Acts (1:12; 13:14-44; 15:21; 17:2; 18:4; 20:7) there is little evidence to suggest that the earliest Christian communities deviated from the traditional Sabbath observed on the seventh day. The lone reference to a gathering "On the first day of the week" (20:7) most likely reflects an emerging Christian consensus that the first day was an appropriate day on which to meet for worship and celebrating the Lord's Supper' (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/BakersEvangelicalDictionary/bed.cgi). |

Country Girl: I merely ask, from what Scripture passages (book chapter: verse) do you draw your conclusion? Where in the NT does it say that people worshipped on the first day of the week? I'm open to looking at the evidence. Where in the NT does it clearly say that? I'm not saying it doesn't say that. I'm just asking you, where does it say that? Grace to you, kalos |

Country Girl: Also, at this point I am not discussing conclusions or interpretations. I am discussing facts, i.e., where does it say that in the NT? At http://studylight.org I did a search in the King James Bible for the words "first" AND "day" AND "worship". It didn't show those three words together in the same verse. The search returned the following message: "Your query for 'first day worship' used in 'The King James Version (Authorized)' failed to return any results." Grace to you, kalos |

Grace does not permit what the law prohibits. 'It is crucial to understand that in terms of moral standards, grace does not permit what the law prohibits. "Grace" never signifies the lowering of God's moral demands. The word grace in scripture signifies a lot of things, but licentiousness is not one of them. In fact, those who turn the grace of God into promiscuity are expressly condemned as false teachers (Jude 4)' (http://www.biblebb.com/files/MAC/obedience.htm). ____________________ "Replacement theology likewise understands that Yeshua (Jesus) at his first coming fulfilled the Torah (Law), so that we don't have to do so (THE LOGIC LEADING TO THIS CONCLUSION IS UNCLEAR)..." ____________________ According to the logic of some, when Jesus said "I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill," what He meant was: I did not come to abolish, but to abolish. Such folks say they agree that Jesus did not come to abolish the Law. But then they define the word "fulfill" to mean "abolish" or its equivalent. The result, according to them, is that Jesus must be contradicting Himself, since what He means is: "I did not come to abolish, but to abolish (their definition of the word fulill). ____________________ Christ is the GOAL of the law -- not the END (termination, abolition) of it. ____________________ "For sin will not have authority over you; because you are not under legalism but under grace." Romans 6:14 (Complete Jewish Bible, David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1998) "For the goal at which the Torah (Law) aims is the Messiah, who offers righteousness to everyone who trusts." Romans 10:4 (CJB) '"Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill." Matthew 5:17 'Replacement theology likewise understands that Yeshua at his first coming fulfilled the Torah, so that we don't have to do so (the logic leading to this conclusion is unclear)...' What does the word translated "fulfill" really mean? 'But the word usually translated "fulfill", Greek pleroo, does not necessarily convey this specific sense. Rather, it is a very common word which simply means "fill", "fill up", "make full", as in filling a cup or a hole. It should be evident that the actual meaning is as rendered in the Jewish New Testament: "Don't think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete" -- that is, to "make full" the meaning of what the Torah and the ethical demands of the Prophets require. In fact, this verse, so understood, states the theme of the entire Sermon on the Mount -- in which six times the Messiah says, "you have heard of old time" the incomplete meaning or a distortion, "but I say to you" the complete, full spiritual sense to be understood and obeyed.' (David H. Stern, "Restoring the Jewishness of the Gospel", 1988, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc.) Grace to you, kalos matt517 |

260 | Jehovah's Witness Question | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 125182 | ||
You write: "They (Jehovah's Witnesses) do not look to any human, but rather to Jesus Christ, as their leader." They do not look to any human? Fact: 'The Jehovah's Witness "theocratic" organization is led by several men in Brooklyn, New York' (www.carm.org/witnesses.htm). ____________________ "Do you want to trust your eternal soul to the teachings of several men headquartered in Brooklyn, New York who claim to be the directors of God's organization on earth? Do you? Eternity is a long time to be wrong." ____________________ If you are a Jehovah's Witness, please understand that I am not against you as an individual. 'Please don’t be offended by this. But when a group claims to be the prophet of God, yet 'mistranslates the Bible, 'takes verses out of context, 'makes false prophecies, and 'misquotes authorities all to make its position valid, 'its credibility is lost. It cannot be from God.' ____________________ (http://www.carm.org/jw/ifurjw.htm).] |
